Biochemical Anomaly

The Biochemical Anomaly was one of the three Celestial Anomalies that existed in the Galaxy, caused by the prehistoric activities of the Celestials; the other two anomalies being the Species Placement Anomaly and the Astrographical Anomaly.

The Biochemical Anomaly was caused by the earliest interstellar activities of the Celestials, during the time of the First Celestial Range, around 5 billion years before the Galactic Republic. During this time, the Celestials accidentally deposited their world's microbes and biochemicals on numerous planets that they visited. This resulted in the bizarre fact that thousands of far flung planets throughout the Galaxy all produced life based on the same biochemical system.
